It’s hard to imagine a more idyllic location for this Devonshire lodge retreat nestled beside a lake with the rolling hills beyond. Near to both the wild, open moorlands of Exmoor National Park and North Devon’s dramatic coast – you’ve the best of both worlds here. By day, head for the sandy shores of Wild Pear Beach (ten-minute drive) – or a little further, Woolacombe Beach (twenty-eight-minute drive) famed for its vast stretches of sand to rival any Mediterranean hotspot. Or don your hiking boots and delve deep into Exmoor's National Park, just a moment from your door, or a little further, the Heddon Valley (eighteen-minute drive). And when it’s finally time to retreat home, you’ll find a luxurious home from home awaiting. Outside, there’s a superb wraparound decking with serene green views and a hot tub that’s begging for you to hop right in with a sundowner. Inside, there’s heaps of space to all spill out in style at the dining table and cosy seating area. And cooking is a joy in the made-for-action kitchen with a sociable breakfast bar. Or you could keep things simple and mosey over to the award-winning brasserie-style restaurant and cocktail bar, just moments away at the Manor House with lies at the heart of this exclusive country estate. With an award-winning menu and a fine wine list to boot, it would be rude not to.
